OH. MY. GOD. The absolute HORROR of having non-tech friends peek at your search history! 😱 There you are, innocently Googling "how to kill child of fork" like the responsible process manager you are, and suddenly everyone thinks you're plotting a tiny-tined murder spree!

For the blissfully unaware: in programming, particularly in Unix/Linux systems, a "fork" creates a "child process" from a "parent process." And sometimes those children need to be... *dramatic whisper* TERMINATED. It's not murder, it's MEMORY MANAGEMENT, KAREN! 💅

The FBI agent monitoring my searches is probably on stress leave by now. "I swear officer, I was just trying to clean up zombie processes!"
